[quote who="Suterusu1416" reply="28" id="3962885"] I mean in seamless mode. If my main PC I control everything from crashes, at least 1 of the 5 remote PCs will not connect once the main PC is rebooted. The only fix is to reboot the remote PC or restart the multiplicity service on it. [/quote] I am confused as you mentioned them being headless which would mean not having displays?

Reply to Start11 v2 not working with Windows 11 24H2 - A Start11 program issue not a Windows issue in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

I don't believe anyone from Stardock would suggest using ExplorerPatcher. In fact typically you would be asked if you are using it as if so it is typically the cause of problems and removing it is what's needed. If it is not working on a reboot that is not normal and something is interfering with it starting up. We had seen the occasional report of this over the years even back to Start8 and typically it will be something setting the service to not automatically start.&nbs

To get devices to show up I have to go to settings/open settings/ and then manually launch individual devices via the KVM Devices.

Reply to [Bug] Windows won't resize my Windows to the bottom of multiple monitors, only to top of Hidden taskbar in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

By full screen do you mean maximized or using full screen options in the apps like f11 in edge to remove the title at too? I ask as in true full screen apps you will not get an auto hide taskbar to appear when you mouse down to the bottom of the screen. This is normal as otherwise full screen games would constantly have problems with it. If just normal maximized then you should ensure you have the option to reserve one pixel of space at the bottom of the screen is enable

[quote who="Suterusu1416" reply="26" id="3962597"] Version 4.0.0.4 If the head end PC in a seamless deployment crashes (Windows), there is a 50/50 chance the remote PCs will not be able to connect once the head end PC is back online. The only resolution is to restart the multiplicity service on the remote PCs which may be difficult if they are in a headless configuration. [/quote] Do you mean in KVM not seamless?

Reply to Start11v2 in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Did you previously have a much older version of Start11 installed? Or perhaps dual boot or a backup of an old install somewhere? Microsoft have terrible logic for detecting if something is installed and it triggers on the most odd things sometimes. Start11 V2.51 should be just fine with the updates.

Reply to Windows 11 24H2 Problem in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

I would recommend updating to the 1.55 update of Start11 as 1.39 is from 2023. The check for updates button on the software should be telling you about that and I can only assume you disabled automatic update checks? Otherwise an upgrade to Start11 v2 which is a paid cost is something you might consider as it adds lots of new features.

Are you using enhanced taskbar in Start11? If not then this will probably be a bug in that patch as Start11 would have no involvement with painting those icons.

Reply to Seamless Grid Does Not Match Windows in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

The number used by Multiplicity is the order the displays are listed in provided by the OS. The number in display properties is sorted differently by the OS for no apparent reason sometimes. This should not cause you any problems as it is purely a visual thing and nothing in Multiplicity cares about display number.

Reply to Wrong icons on Start11 taskbar in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

If this is happening without Start11 enhanced taskbar enabled then the issue is less likely to be Start11 as it does not provide the taskbar in that situation. My best guesses are corrupt icon cache or shortcut has a bad icon as apps running will use the icon from the shortcut. If the cache was bad when the shortcut was made then it might have the wrong icon saved. Might be worth seeing if the same happens if the same app is launched from search in Start11 or all program
